Question for the pack

Who decides if BB games are played in the rain? I have to assume Cohen will want to go but does Van Horn also have to agree? We have to play 3 games for a shot at the SEC championship.

Home plate ump in conj with coaches. But he really doesnt need their opinion

I dont think we have to play all 3 to win.

Home team generally decides if a game will start (not sure if the SEC has a different rule). Once the game does start, it's the umpire's decision.

Actually, it's up to the league office. They'll get opinions from each coach and the ump, but the SEC office makes the final call. As far as getting players off the field and putting the tarp on in-game, that's the ump's call, then they'll go in and talk to the office about resuming, postponing, or cancelling.

It's going to be rainy all over the south all weekend.

Same nervousness about the weather to be had in College Station and Baton Rouge.

Gotcha. Thanks for the answers

So we need to root for us to win tonight and every other SEC game this weekend to be rained out? Got it.

Tonight looks fine. Tomorrow is the main issue with rain a certainty so it'll probably not be played. Saturday looks OK, especially by game time at 5 so they could conceivably play two 7s or even two complete games if they decided to go earlier in the day.

Usually at this time of the year, the rain comes from the SW, and that seems to be the case this time. Rain is Starkville should start and stop a couple hours earlier than here, since we're NE of Starkville a ways.
